The Swiss vote to keep minarets off their landscape

November 30th, 2009 · 9 Comments

I don’t see anyone else in Wisconsin discussing the subject, so we might as well start it.
So? What do you think? Where’s the U.S. headed with this subject? I’m trying to decide if the vote was a backlash on the religion or merely a way to preserve a revered landscape. I’ll admit it would [...]

The Thanksgiving post

November 26th, 2009 · 2 Comments

My goodness, what a beautiful facility you have here. I am dumbfounded that such facilities exist without the tax dollars other districts demand.
You should be very, very proud. From what I can tell of your audience, you’ve got something very right going on here. Congratulations. Your hard work shows.

Don’t smoke the Kool-Aid

April 4th, 2008 · 11 Comments

It’s a Fairly Conservative exclusive – a phrase that I’m told I coined in a conversation with Kyle Prast. It must have been a slip between “I want what they’re smoking” and the phrase I don’t much care for, “They drank the Kool-Aid.”
